There's a restaurant on Periferico in Polanco called Winston Churchill's. They may serve high tea. The British Council in Mexico City might be able to help you, too.

There use to be two wonderful tea rooms in the Zona Rosa, but they gradually disappeared. Starbucks is the vogue here now, sadly. La Esquina del Te is nice, but as far as I know there is no High Tea. The best place will be a nice bakery, what part of the city will you be in? There is a swiss bakery in Polonco that might work for you.

About the bakery...
It could be in sorry if i misspelled... Polanco, Condes, or St Fe.
Thank you for your help.

Do you think Starbuck is hurting the traditional literati cafes or do you think it will bring renewed interest in the Coffehouse concept.... and in a few years there will be a new generation of independents.

What is the Starbucks count in Mexico City now.... 60ish?

[Elchilango]

No , I don't think Starbucks is hurting anything...the "literati" don't go to Starbucks! And there never was a large "literati cafe" scene here, well not in recent decades anyway, not like in NY, Paris or Madrid (the one city where there still is one). I think, as you propose, there is a new interest in cafes and coffee in general. The high prices at Starbucks keep most sensible people out.

I AM LOOKING FOR AN ENGLISH KIND AFTERNOON TEA...WITH SCONES, CANAPES AND DESSERTS.
MAYBE IN A HOTEL OR SOMETHING.
